Dual potential energy well with quantum wave functions on a ladder of different energy levels
N.E. Frattini et al.
The 135-year-old laws of chemistry are getting a quantum overhaul. Experiments with a single quantum bit, or qubit, have revealed that the Arrhenius equation, which describes the relationship between reaction rate and temperature, needs to be modified to apply to the quantum realm.
Rodrigo Cortiñas of Yale University says he has never doubted that the Arrhenius equation has direct applications in quantum experiments…
